The
annual honor, named for Hall of Famer and former Boston Celtic Bob Cousy,
recognizes the top point guards in men's college basketball. Over 80 candidates
garnered a nomination for the 2013 Bob Cousy Award.

Wolters
earned the award after posting 21.2 points, 5.9 assists and 5.1 rebounds per
game as a junior in 2011-12 in leading the Jackrabbits to their first-ever NCAA
Tournament at the Division I level and tying the school record for wins with
27. He also set the SDSU junior scoring record and earned Associated Press
All-American honorable mention accolades.

The
Jackrabbit men finished the season with a 27-8 record and advanced to the Big
Dance with three wins at The Summit League Championships in Sioux Falls. The
record-breaking season came to an end with a 68-60 loss to No. 9 Baylor in the
NCAA Tournament.

SDSU
posted a perfect 14-0 mark at home during the season, a streak that now stands
at 23 straight games at Frost Arena, the third longest home winning streak in
all of Division I basketball, trailing only Syracuse (30) and Kansas (28).

Wolters
and the Jackrabbits return to Summit League play on Saturday against North
Dakota State in Fargo, N.D., at 7 p.m., and put the home winning streak on the
line again on Jan. 10, 2013 against Oakland at 7 p.m.
